Hello all pentaxians !! This is my first post so please be nice facing my complete ignorance in pentax ecosystem
.
I ordered a K-1 when I saw the presentation which just impressed me at that time. I am since then looking over and over again on youtube, pentax forums and google to know what kind of lenses will be available for the K-1. I found the wonderfully written page here which explain exactly what lens are compatible.
I have a few questions since I am pretty unaware of Pentax (call me crazy jumping on their first FF not knowing anything about the eco
).
1) What is the quality of the primes lineup compared to the latest zooms ? I see that the zooms are packed with a lot of technology and if the image quality is on part with the primes I am afraid that this will mean the end of the old lenses ?
2) Can some of you guys share picture of your K-1 with your lenses attached ? I come from the mirrorless world and unbalanced lens on a body really bother me a lot.
3) I am hesitating between 3 setups, can you guys tell me what you think ?
- setup 1 : 18-30mm f2.8 + 70-200 f2.8 ( mainly for the constant aperture, WR, incredible look and build quality IMO, and they cover the range I like )
- setup 2 : SIGMA 35mm f1.4 ART + SIGMA 85mm f1.4 + 100mm macro f2.8. ( Because of the incredible aperture bookeh, the build quality, and the optional macro )
- setup 3 : Something more traditional with the limited series ?
I have no way of trying the lenses on any local store, I could eventually order on amazon and return the one I do not like but I am afraid of doing a mistake. I mainly summon you guys experience regarding the ecosystem.
NOTE : I LOVE astrophotography, landscape, portraits. I was using my old gear 40% Wide and 60% mid-telephoto.
Thank you all !
